-
Step 2Cool the dough in the refrigerator for about ½ hour.
-
Step 3Take the dough out of the refrigerator and shape into 1- inch balls. Place them on baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
-
Step 4Bake 13-15 minutes until set but not brown. Immediately remove from baking pans and put onto cooling racks.

Step 5Place 1 & ½ Cups powdered sugar in a bowl and roll the cookies in them. Make sure they are cool or the sugar will just melt on the cookies.
